261. Break the siege
At this time, Ha San and Nalan came over. Chen Lu said: "Ha Dashuai, I used your daughter-in-law again without your consent, I'm sorry, who made her magic boundless." It's not okay to scold me behind my back, if you want to scold in front of you, it's no problem to cut a few knives, and if you don't pay when it's overdue, if you scold me again at that time, my old man doesn't follow it. ”
Ha San made a hearty appearance and said, "How can it be! My daughter-in-law is also a member of the mission, so of course she has to obey the dispatch. ”
Nalan walked here since he said nothing, and then said, "Bah, who is your daughter-in-law!"
Everyone had already stood up, and seeing that there was nothing for the two of them, they were disappointed, and some people even despaired.
The big urn was raised. Chen Lu said: "Nalan, pour water." ”
Nalan happily replied and went to the horse to take out the water bag. Everyone looked at it, it was not as big as their own water bag, and then there was a buzzing sound.
Nalan looked at the old sentry chief holding two scoops and said, "Old sentry chief, each person will give a water scoop first." You have another person, and I will pour the water so that I can drink the horses. Whoever went to call Kiko and asked him to go to the room and arrange for someone to boil water for the adults. ”
At this time, Ha San was reporting Li Da's condition to Chen Lu. Li Da has improved a lot, but without food and water, his body is recovering very slowly.
These officers and soldiers looked at Nalan's small water bag with their eyes and saw that the big urn was full. The shining water under the moon, the moon fell into the water, the moon dangled in the water, bumping, and everyone had a feeling of unreality.
I don't know who cried. Everyone came to their senses and shouted long live, and the crowd suddenly became commotionous.
Chen Lu was anxious to see Li Da, afraid that the scene would not be easy to control, so he didn't dare to leave, and said, "General Ha, line up." ”
Ha San shouted the command, moved forward in two rows, and each person gave a water scoop first. Nalan fills the urn at any time. Kiko also came with her own soldiers, and after fetching water, she took it back, and the food guard had already taken it back to boil water.
When he was done, Nalan went directly to the food post, filled all the large urns, and went to the stables with the husband's team, drank enough livestock, and walked back to fill all the soldiers' water bags.
Chen Lu saw that it was okay, returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and hurriedly walked to the inner room, where he saw that Li Da was still lying on the bed, his face was vegetable, and his eyes were blank. Doran sat on the edge of the bed. After everyone greeted each other, Chen Lu's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.
Li Da saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also very moved, and he said weakly: "Lord Zicheng, how can you be a child? I heard from Kiko, the errand was done well, did it go well?"
Chen Lu hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "It's very smooth, the matter started in a hurry, the adults are in a coma, and they can't meet in time." It was the pigeon whistle that saved everyone. ”
Li Da recalled and said: "I heard Xizi talk about it, and I am ashamed that the envoy ignored it. ”
At this time, someone brought boiling water, which was almost cold, and Li Da drank half a bowl. Chen Lu told him about the arrangement, and Li Da nodded and closed his eyes.
Chen Lu glanced at Duolan, still ruddy. This Langzhong is indeed different, and naturally they have their maintenance methods. Her attitude towards Chen Lu is the same as when she first came, neither lukewarm nor hot, neither humble nor arrogant, she can't see enthusiasm, and she doesn't pretend to be cold like some beauties, she always looks calm.
When the sky was bright, Chen Lu sent a sentinel to explore the way, and everyone had a full meal and recounted the baggage of men and horses. Here six more soldiers, nine servants, seven wagons, two wagons of fodder, twenty-one horses, and six camels were killed.
Chen Lu knew about it, but he didn't dare to report it to Li Da, and reported it lightly. Li Da knew in his heart that he must have suffered heavy losses.
After everyone opened the tent, they lined up and set off, and when the sun rose, Chen Lu had ordered them all to put on winter clothes, but they were all nervous. The sentinel flew to report that it was less than thirty miles away from the main road of ice and snow.
Everyone cheered, and Li Da gave the order to move forward at full speed. In less than an hour, we reached the official road where the snow was three feet deep.
The mission had been trapped in the desert for seven or eight days, and the wind was already blowing outside, and the snow on the road was no longer so thick. The sapper post no longer needs to clear the road, just walk in front and pay attention to some ditches and bumps.
Ha San came to Nalan and wanted to leave the water bag. These people don't know that when he was fighting in Mobei, there was a constant shortage of water, and he was afraid of water shortage.
During this time, too, water shortages are almost commonplace. In the future, with this water bag, are you still afraid of water shortage? Nalan didn't say a word to him now, so Ha San had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu said: "General Ha is confused, should I ask her to give it to you, or do you want to be good with her directly?"
"I asked her for it, and she ignored me. ”
Chen Lu laughed: "Then I can't help it, why can't I keep not answering, right? Then you have to pay attention, most of this mission is a bachelor, don't really become someone's wife." After saying that, he smiled and rode away.
Ha San was stunned for a while, waiting for Li Da to drive, and saw Nalan riding a horse beside him, and deliberately said loudly: "Nalan, keep that water bag for me, isn't it the same in the hands of the two of us?"
Nalan replied with a single word.
Li Da heard it clearly, he was now full of food and drink, he had spirits, heard about the life-saving water bag, and said: "Nalan, save it for Hasan, and it is also good for marching." ”
Nalan didn't dare to be strong anymore, and looked for a while in the bag. Ha San saw her face change, and saw her jump off the horse again, and turned the bag inside and out again, no, no, just no.
At this time, Li Da's car also stopped. Li Da lifted the curtain and looked out, Nalan's tears had already flowed. Li Da said: "Don't worry, look for it slowly, will it be there in Luhatu." ”
This is not a trivial matter, everyone is panicking, someone has already gone to find Luhatu. The front team also quickly saw the lieutenant envoy's car stop, and also ordered to stop advancing.
Lu Hatu hurriedly dared to come over, and Chen Lu also followed. Li Da asked, "Luhatu, did Nalan give you that little water bag?"
Lu Hatu said: "Back to the master, it has always been in the hands of Miss Nalan. This Chinese saying is quite clear. Nalan looked at Chen Lu with teary eyes in his eyes.
Chen Lu understood, it was the water bag that was gone, and he shook his head. At this time, Duolan, who was following behind, threw a sentence from the car: "No need to look for it, the things of the fairy family, it is okay to save in an emergency, how can it be held for a long time?"
Chen Lu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Dolan is really knowledgeable, and she will take it back when she finishes using it, and I will know when my old man asks them." Ran to the side, took out Zhenhaizhu to make trouble, and came back and said, "No need to look for it, it's been taken back." ”
Everyone gave up and continued the march.
After walking for nearly eighty miles, it was already dark, and there was no water source, so I had to set up a big tent on the side of the road. Go to the trees on both sides, find dead leaves under the snow to feed the horses, and ask the food sentinel to prepare some dry food for each person. Chen Lu asked for some talismans and pasted them on the big tent.
Several people discussed, out of this vast snowfield, there will definitely be a big town, and then make additions. Chen Lu told that about 400 miles to the northwest is the territory of King Suge, and there is also a Wei Division, which is also nominally from the Celestial Empire.
King Suge is the prince of the previous dynasty, the noble of the eight classics, and the heavenly dynasty has recast the seal and canonized, and the court is quite passable. But he was full of internal contradictions. We should not stay there for long, so we will make supplies and leave.
